Today, the Dow industrials closed up 15.92 points at 10,568.70, the Standard & Poor’s 500 closed up 1.13 points at 1,228.81 and the Nasdaq Composite Index closed up 10.47 points or 0.5% at 2,151.69. This reflects an upward performance for all three indices for the quarter. Dow up 0.8% for the month and up 2.9% from the second quarter, the S&P 500 Index up 0.7% for the month and up 3.2% for the third quarter, and the Nasdaq closing for a small 0.1% loss for the month but a 4.6% gain for the quarter.

On the other hand, our Model Portfolio closed with a 3.26% gain for this month and a not-so-shabby 15.9% gain for the quarter. Considering this was not an easy quarter because of the increased the market volatility, we are expecting much larger gains in the fourth quarter.

Despite disappointing economic reports, decline in personal spending and high oil prices; the stocks bounced back on a mix of end-of-quarter portfolio reshuffling, and an easing of the anxiety about the hurricane’s impact on the economy.

Today the market breadth was positive. On the New York Stock Exchange, winners topped losers by more than 20 to 12 on volume of 1.54 billion shares. On the Nasdaq, advancers beat decliners by nearly 17 to 12 on volume of 1.65 billion shares.

It was a day of technology with Micron Technology gaining $1.11 or 9.1% to $13.30 on reported strong quarterly results, National Semiconductor closing up $0.67 or 2.6% to $26.20 on news of higher dividend. The Philadelphia Semiconductor index closed up 8.96 or almost 2% to 475.32.

Other gainers included Procter & Gamble up $1.32 or 2.3% to $59.46 on news of approval of its purchase of Gillette which also closed up $1.99 to $58.20, Liberty Global ended up $1.48 or 5.8% to $27.09 on news of its intention to buy Cablecom Holdings AG. Boeing gained 1% to $67.95 on news of acceptance of the deal with its unionists to end the strike.

Amongst decliners, oil stocks fell with Exxon Mobil losing $1.26 or nearly 2% to $63.54, and Amex Oil closed down 14.71 or 1.4% to 1,076.31.

Stock of Kimberly-Clark Corp. was downgraded from ‘Buy’ to ‘Hold’. This led the stock to lose 31 cents to $59.53. Similar downgradation affected shares of Capital One Financial Corp. that slipped 1% to close at $79.52.

Amongst economic news, the revised consumer sentiment index from the University of Michigan dropped to 76.9 in September from 89.1 in August, Personal income fell 0.1 percent in August after climbing 0.3 percent in July; Personal spending declined 0.5 percent in the month after growing 0.1 percent in the previous month. The drop in personal income is the highest since January, the drop is consumer spending is the highest since November 2001. Many economist opine that the devastation brought on by recent hurricanes, and the record-high energy prices have hit the consumer and will slow the economy

U.S. light crude oil for November delivery retreated 55 cents to settle at $66.24 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. This is a step down of 4.6% for September. Natural-gas futures ended 1.9% lower at $13.921 per million BTU. Natural-gas futures tallied an 80% gain for the quarter, while crude prices climbed almost 13%.

Today investors overcame worries about record-high energy prices and focused on late-quarter portfolio additions. Bargain hunting after two down weeks fired up a broad based rally and the stocks firmed up.

Today was the fourth straight session of gains for the Dow, the fifth consecutive positive finish for the S&P and the biggest one-day gain in nearly three months for the Nasdaq.

Market breadth was positive. Volume was more than 1.62 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange, where rising shares outnumbered losers by 22 to 9. On the Nasdaq, advancers topped decliners 19 to 11 on volume of 1.83 billion shares. The rally was broad based with a variety of sectors participating.

Despite the losses on the Nasdaq, the Model Portfolio continued to prosper and reached a positive monthly return. In the last eight sessions, the Model Portfolio has outperformed the market by leaps and bounds.

Today, the Dow Jones industrial average closed up 16.88 to 10,473.09, the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 ended up 1.23 to 1,216.89, while the Nasdaq composite bucked the trend and closed down 1.02 to 2,115.40.

The market breadth was negative. On the New York Stock Exchange, on volume of 1.57 billion shares, rising shares and falling stocks were in roughly equal portions. On the Nasdaq, decliners beat advancers by 17 to 12 on volume of 1.74 billion shares. The markets continued to flip-flop with investors reacting to both positive economic data and a disconcerting report that natural-gas prices are expected to rise this winter.

The gainers on the Dow were IBM that closed up $1.51 to $79.50, Microsoft that ended up $0.33 to $25.67, Verizon Communications that closed up $0.56 to $32.41, and SBC Communications closing up $0.26 to $23.90. McDonald’s closed up 9 cents at $33.10 on a report of likely splitting of the giant into three businesses.

Some prominent decliners were Caterpillar down $1.17 or 2% to $57.55, Agco was down $0.60 or 3.1% to $18.26, Fannie Mae closed down nearly 11% on a report of new accounting violations, Delphi continued its slump by 3% down $0.10 to $2.65.

Eastman Kodak dropped 12 cents to $24.89 on news of lower than expected earnings from digital operations.

Reports state that NRG Energy is in talks to purchase Texas plant operator Genco Holdings in a deal that could be worth more than $5 billion. This led the NRG Energu stock to close up $1.52 or 3.7% to $43.05. Paychex closed up $3.16 or 9% to $37.25, on news of better than expected quarterly earnings.

The Energy Department announced that motor-gasoline supplies in the latest week climbed unexpectedly, rising 4.4 million barrels to 199.8 million. The government also said that crude inventories fell 2.4 million barrels for the week ended Sept. 23 to total 305.7 million, and that distillate stocks declined 500,000 barrels to 133.6 million barrels.

U.S. light crude oil for November delivery closed up $1.28 or 2% to settle at $66.35 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, crude had risen as high as $67.40 a barrel. Unleaded-gasoline futures closed up 17.29 cents at $2.3393 after trading as high as $2.35, while October heating oil closed up 7.25 cents at $2.1411 after rising to $2.16 earlier.

Today, the Dow Jones industrial average closed up 12.58 to 10,456.21, the Standard & Poor’s 500 was up 0.03 to 1,215.66, and the Nasdaq composite ended down 5.04 to lose 0.2% to 2,116.42.

It was a mixed day with a lot of ups and downs. Initially the investors welcomed a drop in oil prices but remained edgy in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. However, the tone soon turned negative, following the release of the September consumer confidence report. In the afternoon the market attempted to rally as oil prices slipped and Alan Greenspan’s afternoon speech proved unsurprising. However, the rally was short-lived, and stocks ended the session mixed.

The market breadth remained negative. On the New York Stock Exchange, losers beat winners by 18 to 13 on volume of 1.49 billion shares. On the Nasdaq, decliners edged advancers 16 to 13 on volume of 1.64 billion shares.

The biggest gainer on Dow was Boeing Co. that closed up $1.88 or almost 3% at $66.55, on news of a tentative agreement with its machinists union that could end a strike by more than 18,000 workers. Other gainers on the Dow included General Electric up $0.37 to $33.64, and Philip Morris that ended up $0.97 to $73.49. Pepsi Bottling Group Inc. gained 3% to $28.46. The company reported third-quarter net income of $205 million which is a 7% improvement over last year.

The stock that lost big today was Taser International Inc. It ended almost 13% lower at $6.35 after announcing that a previously disclosed inquiry into the company by the Securities and Exchange Commission has now been deemed formal. Auto parts maker Delphi also continued its recent slide, dropping 8% to $2.75.

On news of Buy Out, stock of Health insurer WellChoice Inc. rose up $4.91 or 6.6% to $75.27. WellPoint is buying it for $6.5 billion in cash and stock. WellPoint shares rose 13 cents to $75.22.

Three stocks were downgraded by banks to “Neutral” from “Overweight.” This led to the slide of Cypress Semiconductor by $0.52 to $14.03, Fairchild Semiconductor International down by $0.92 to $14.43, and ON Semiconductor closed down $0.30 to $4.74.

News on a slump in new home sales by the Commerce Department by 9.9% in August to a seasonally adjusted 1.24 million had an adverse effect on homebuilders. This is against the expected sales of 1.34 million units. Lennar closed down $0.07 to $57.00.

U.S. light crude oil for November delivery dropped 75 cents to settle at $65.07 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Traders continue to struggle to figure out the extent of damage to energy facilities caused by recent hurricanes.
